In your opinion, why did Joker 2 flopped so hard domestically? And why the movie grossed almost the triple internationally?

I was looking up the numbers and Joker 2's performance at the domestic box office was extremely weak. It only made 58 million dollars domestically.

Just for comparison, it was the 2nd lowest domestic grossing for a movie that crossed the $100M mark worldwide in 2024 (only losing to Madame Web with 43 million dollars).

It was also the lowest grossing domestic movie that crossed the $101M mark worldwide in 2024.

Which makes me think, how? How did it managed to make just that at the domestic box office?

But Joker 2 is currently at the 22nd position of highest grossing Hollywood movie worldwide with $206M because it grossed $148M internationally, which makes me wonder, how?

What are the specific reasons Joker 2 flopped so hard at domestic box office, but ended up performing a lot better internationally?
